"This extravagant Chongming, An Bangyan, and the situation in Yunnan, the teacher will tell me about it!" Chongzhen rubbed his temples. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly: "Since Your Majesty wants to listen, the old minister will simply say it, first of all, this extravagant Chongming, his ancestors were gifted by the imperial court, hereditary Yongning Xuanfu Division, and he has a brave and warlike Yi soldier in his hand, and he and his son Hao Yin and others have long had the heart of "reviving the Yi nationality country". In the first year of the Apocalypse, the Tartars rose in Liaodong, in order to solve the urgent need, the imperial court requisitioned and dispatched Hao Chongming to lead the troops and horses to rescue Liaodong, and Gao Chongming took the opportunity to send his son-in-law Fan Long and the general Zhang Tong to lead 20,000 infantry cavalry to Chongqing. On September 17, he took advantage of the opportunity of the school to perform martial arts, killed more than 20 military and political officials such as Governor Xu Keqiu, launched a rebellion, occupied Chongqing, attacked Hejiang, broke Luzhou, trapped Zunyi, founded the country "Daliang", set up the prime minister, Wufu and other officials, and the whole Shu was shaken. After that, Hao Chongming and Hao Yin led tens of thousands of troops to march towards CD, and successively captured Fushun, Neijiang, Ziyang, Jianzhou, Xindu, and Longquan. On October 18, when the CD garrison was surrounded by only 2,000 people, Zhu Xieyuan, the political envoy, urgently transferred the officials and troops from Shizhu Xuanwei Division, Long'an Mansion and other places to come to the rescue, and the same patrol was divided into the gate according to the imperial history Xue Puzheng and others. So the imperial court promoted Zhu Xieyuan to the governor of Sichuan, and sent Yang Yumao as the chief military officer of Sichuan to quell the rebellion in Sichuan. Qin Liangyu's general army sent his younger brother Minping, and his nephew Yiming and others led 4,000 soldiers to Nanping Pass, stifling the return of the Chongqing rebels, and dividing troops to defend Zhongzhou. Qin Liangyu commanded 6,000 elite soldiers along the Jiangxi River. Li Biao, the governor of Guizhou, sent the general soldiers Zhang Yanfang, Xu Chengming, and Huang Yunqing to rescue Sichuan. From October to December, more than 100 battles were fought large and small, more than 10,000 rebels were eliminated, and Zunyi, Suiyang, Meitan, Tongzi, Wujiang and other places were recovered. On the rebel side, Hao Yin built ladders and dry ships in CD, and attacked the city day and night. After Qin Liangyu and other reinforcements arrived at CD, he defeated the rebels in Niutou Town with Yang Shucheng, the deputy envoy of Denglai, and Liu Fenqian, the deputy envoy of An Jin, and recovered the new capital. On the 29th day of the first month of the second year, Zhu Xieyuan took the rebel general Luo Ganxiang as his internal response, and sent his subordinates to set up an ambush to lure Chongming to the city, and then defeated his army, Luo Ganxiang surrendered, and the siege was lifted. The official army pursued the victory, and successively recovered more than 40 prefectures and counties such as Ziyang, Neijiang, Jianzhou, and Luzhou, and the father and son retreated to Yongning. On May 23, the armies advanced to Chongqing, Qin Liangyu led Qin Minping to seize Erlang Pass, and the general soldier Du Wenhuan broke through Fotu Pass. Xu Ruke, the deputy envoy of the eastern Sichuan military garrison, also repelled tens of thousands of Zhou Ding reinforcements sent by Hao Yin, and annihilated more than 10,000 enemies. On the 28th, Chongqing was recovered and Fan Long and Zhang Tong were killed. Since then, the two sides have repeatedly fought in Jianwu, Changning, Jingxian, Yibin, and Zunyi, and have won and lost each other. In the spring of the third year, Zhu Xieyuan learned the lesson that "I divide with each other, and the thief with one" and thus failed to completely quell the rebellion, and decided to concentrate his forces and attack Yongning directly. Set up suspicious troops in Naxi, feigned to attack, and secretly concentrated the main force in Changning, marched into Yongning, and the official army and the Shizhu native soldiers won the battle. In April, Ke Yongning. May, Kerin Oblast. Chongming father and son led the rest of the army to retreat to Shuixi Longchang, united with Guizhou An Bangyan, divided the troops to commit Yongning and Zunyi, and was repelled by the Sichuan army. Li Weixin, the chief military officer of Sichuan, Li Xianpin, the deputy envoy of the supervising army, and Liu Kexun, the supervising army, commanded the generals and marched into the dragon field in 5 routes, capturing the wife of Hao Chongming, the younger brother of Hao Chonghui, and many civilian and military generals such as the rebel university scholar, Jinglu, prime minister, and governor, and beheaded more than 1,000 people. The imperial court then ordered the abolition of the Yongning Xuanfu Division and the establishment of a provincial government to govern its land. ”
"In this counterinsurgency, this Zhu Xieyuan performed very well, and General Qin deserves to be General Qin!" Chongzhen nodded and said, Sun Chengzong also smiled and nodded, and then said: "The minister then said that this An Bangyan, An Bangyan is the Tongzhi of Guizhou Shuixi, and the son of Yaochen clan." When Yaochen died, he was still young, so his mother, Hui Shehui, took charge of it. Shehui, Yongning Xuanfu made extravagant Chongming's female brother, and Bangyan then specialized in the army. From the forty-sixth year of Wanli to the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the Tartars rebelled in Liaodong. The imperial court discussed the conscription of troops from the southwest to aid Liao, and An Bangyan was unruly, and he had different ambitions, and wanted to multiply it by the incident. Bang Yan returned, and it was a counterplot. The court was tired and asked for more troops and salaries, but because the court was focused on Liao affairs, it put it aside. In the first year of the Apocalypse, Sichuan Yongning Xuanfu made Luxury Chongming take the opportunity to raise troops against the Ming, according to Chongqing, attack Hejiang, break Luzhou, trap Zunyi and other places, when the news of Luxury Chongming's self-proclaimed "King of Great Liang" reached Guizhou, the whole territory of Guizhou was under martial law. In order to support Luxury Chongming, An Bangyan also wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble. For this reason, he specially went to the governor's residence to meet Li Zong, "The sophistry has a feud with the luxury family, and he is willing to send his own troops to suppress Yongning to serve himself." Li Zheng knew that he had ill intentions, so he refused his request. Although An Bangyan touched a soft nail, he did not give up. After the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court transferred soldiers from the west to Sichuan to quell the rebellion. An Bangyan took the opportunity to aid Sichuan in the name of aiding Sichuan, in February of the second year of the Apocalypse, led an army of 20,000 to Bijie, launched a rebellion, proclaimed himself "King of Luodian", and captured Bijie with the assistance of An Xiaoliang, the prefect of Wusatu. Local officials in Dongchuan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Hongbian in Guizhou, and other places responded one after another. The rebels successively divided their forces to capture Anshun, Pingba, Zhanyi, Longli, Weng'an, Bianqiao, Yuanzhou, Pu'an, Annam and other places, cutting off the official and military aid routes and the Yunnan-Guizhou access roads. On the ninth day of the first month of February, An Bangyan led his army to surround Guiyang, claiming to break through Chenzhou and Changde, take Jingzhou, and reach the Central Plains. Suddenly, Baoqing and Jingzhou were shaken. When the army in Guiyang was empty, the Governor Li Lu and the Governor Shi Yongan led the army and civilians to stick to the lonely city. The general soldier Zhang Yanfang led 20,000 troops from Tongren to help, but was lured and defeated by the rebels in Longli. In March, the Ming court ordered the towns near Guizhou to send elite troops to help, and transferred 40,000 officers and troops from Huguang, Yunnan, and Guangxi provinces to Guizhou. In June, the new governor Wang Sanshan led an army of 10,000 troops into Pingyue, waiting for reinforcements from all over the country. Xu Shifeng, deputy commander-in-chief, and Fan Zhongren, a staff general, led reinforcements, but were defeated by the rebels at the Xintian Wengcheng River, and Guiyang was starved of food. At the end of November, Wang Sanshan divided his troops into 3 ways to break the siege, and led 20,000 elites in the middle road to surprise the enemy. In December, the siege of Guiyang was lifted, and An Bangyan retreated to Luguanghe. At that time, the official army of Yunnan also recovered the two cities of Pingyi and Zhanyi, and the rebel forces in Yunnan were basically wiped out. After the siege of Guiyang was broken, the troops from Huguang, Guangxi and Sichuan to aid Guiyang arrived in Guiyang successively, and Wang Sanshan's troops divided into three routes and marched to Shuixi. In January of the third year, An Bangyan united with Yongning Hao Chongming and Wusa An Xiaoliang to lure the official army to cross the Luguang River, and successively defeated the official army in Luguang and Yachi, and the Longli area was occupied by the rebel general He Zhongwei. Guiyang is again threatened. In April, An Bangyan wanted to invade Guiyang again. Wang Sanshan sent guerrilla Qi Jizu and general Wang Jianzhong to defeat the rebels in Lianhuabao, Qingyan, Bagudang and other places, and captured many rebels. In May, An Xiaoliang submitted. In June, the commander-in-chief Zhang Yanfang defeated the rebels in Yang'er. In September, the Yunnan division came to the aid of Guizhou and relieved the siege of Annan. In October, Pu'an and Xinxing were recovered, and the passage of Shangliuwei in Guizhou was opened. Wang Sanshan personally led an army of 60,000, crossed the Luguang River, 300 miles of land, and beheaded 18,000 rebels. Shuixi Xuan comforted An Wei to abandon Dafang and go to the burning castle, and An Bangyan fled to weave gold. Wang Sanshan was stationed in Tundafang for more than 3 months, because of the lack of support, the food and salary were cut off, and he retreated in the first month of the fourth year, and was pursued by the rebels and was killed, and more than 100 generals were killed in battle. In April, Cai Fuyi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and governor of Guizhou, sent Premier Lu Qin and General Yin Shen to Kaili, Puding and other places, and repeatedly defeated the rebels. In November, An Bangyan drove more than 30,000 troops, crossed the Sancha River, and conspired to commit Puding. Cai Fuyi sent Lu Qin and others to defeat them in Wangjiachong and Jiang Yizhai. Take advantage of the victory to pursue, cross the Sancha River, and reach Zhijin. In the first month of the fifth year, Lu Qin and others returned to cross the river, but were attacked by rebels, killing more than 2,000 soldiers, and Cai Fuyi was also dismissed. In March, the Ming court appointed Wang Ying as the governor of Guizhou, and in fact, Cai Fuyi and Fu Zonglong, the inspector of the army, were still in charge of Guizhou's military affairs. They decided to adopt the strategy of stationing troops along the river crossing, tuning fields on the spot, and completely blockading Shuixi. At that time, the Yunnan official army also defeated the rebels in Zhanyi, and An Xiaoliang was defeated and died. In March of the sixth year, in order to get rid of the increasingly difficult situation, An Bangyan led tens of thousands of troops to cross the river to invade Weiqing and threaten Guiyang, but was defeated and returned to Shuixi. Now they are in turmoil again, and according to the report, they now have more than 100,000 troops! ”
"Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows! Why didn't the imperial court continue to encircle and suppress after An Bangyan returned to Shuixi? Chongzhen asked.
"Your Majesty! If it weren't for the tentative establishment of Liaodong now and the removal of the domestic civil uprising, how would the imperial court have time to manage this Yunnan-Guizhou region! Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly, and then said: "There are all aspects of money and food, etc."
"That's right, I was negligent!" Chongzhen held his forehead, indeed, if it weren't for the fact that the domestic war had subsided now, where would the imperial court have the energy to deal with the rebellion in this Yunnan-Guizhou region?!
"What's the situation in Yunnan? How can there always be rebellions? Chongzhen asked.
Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty! The old minister thought that there was a big difference between the management system of Yunnan and the inland provinces. In addition to the establishment of the Metropolitan Command Envoy Division, the Political Envoy Division, and the Judicial Division in Yunnan, and later the establishment of the governor, due to the large number of Tusi in this area, Mu Ying has guarded the place for generations since the Hongwu period. The Mu family not only has a lot of military power, but also has a pivotal position in politics and economy. As a result, Yunnan was under the dual jurisdiction of hereditary lords and local officials in the Ming Dynasty, and the two not only cooperated with each other, but also often entangled, so there would often be rebellions! ”
"It seems that this problem must be completely solved after this counterinsurgency, otherwise it will be a bottomless pit! The imperial court can't afford it! Chongzhen rubbed his temples and said.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Sun Chengzong said with a smile.
"In this case, let Governor Zhu Xieyuan and Qin Liangyu be the candidates for this counterinsurgency, with Zhu Xieyuan as the main and Qin Liangyu as the auxiliary!" Chongzhen thought about it and said, originally Chongzhen wanted Qin Liangyu to be the mainstay, after all, Qin Liangyu was more well-known in later generations and was also very awesome, but after all, this was in the Ming Dynasty, in ancient times, when men were inferior to women, and Qin Liangyu was not Han yet, so it could only be arranged like this.
"What does the teacher think?" Chongzhen asked.
"Your Majesty is wise! In fact, the conclusion of the cabinet discussion was also to let the two of them quell the rebellion together, with Zhu Xieyuan as the mainstay! Sun Chengzong said with a smile.
"Good! So let's decide! Proposed purpose, add Zhu Xie's military department to the title of Shangfangjian, supervise the five provinces of Gui, Sichuan, Lake, Yunnan, and Guangdong, and make every effort to quell the rebellion! Add the rank of squire of Qin Liangyu's military department, and fully assist Zhu Xieyuan to quell the rebellion! Chongzhen waved his hand.
"Obey the order!" Sun Chengzong said.
